Tracking cryospheric dynamics requires high-fidelity, repeatable orbital intelligence. This True Colour image captures the Nuussuaq Peninsula in Greenland, acquired by the Open Cosmos Hyper-500 satellite constellation. With global temperatures repeatedly pushing record highs, polar monitoring is now paramount. Rising temperatures are accelerating melt across Greenland — driving sea level rise, destabilising ocean currents and reshaping atmospheric patterns worldwide. What you see here is only part of what Hyper-500 records. Its 32 narrow VNIR bands read the ice surface beyond a true-colour view: mapping spectral albedo, separating the light-absorbing dust, soot and glacier algae that darken the ice, detecting snow wetness through its near-infrared signature, and estimating the depth of supraglacial meltwater. At 5 m resolution, that turns a picture of the ice into a measurement of what is driving its melt. Repeat coverage across the OpenConstellation feeds these measurements into the albedo and melt models that climate assessment depends on - turning orbital observation into actionable climate intelligence. #EarthObservation #Hyper500 #OpenCosmos #OpenConstellation #SpaceTech #Greenland #ClimateIntelligence #RemoteSensing #Satellites

Europe’s space sovereignty will not be built by one country, one company or one system. It will depend on our ability to connect capabilities, collaborate across borders and turn ambition into action. That was at the heart of the inaugural Vaduz Space Dialogue 2026, hosted by the Liechtenstein Ministry for Home Affairs, Economy and Sport in cooperation with Open Cosmos, with the support of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI). The Dialogue brought together leaders from governments, European institutions and industry to explore how independently owned and governed satellite systems can work together to strengthen Europe’s secure connectivity, resilience and competitiveness. For Open Cosmos, this is also about what practical European cooperation can look like. Liechtenstein is developing its national space strategy and positioning itself as a reliable partner in Europe’s space ecosystem, with ambitions spanning secure connectivity, space data, industry and the development of its own national capabilities. Our partnership is one tangible example of that growing activity. By combining Liechtenstein’s strategic spectrum assets with Open Cosmos’ European manufacturing and satellite capabilities, we have an opportunity to help build infrastructure that can complement and connect with national, commercial and European systems, while allowing countries to retain control of their own assets and priorities. As our founder and CEO Rafel Jordá Siquier said in Vaduz: “Federation gives us a practical way to connect sovereign and commercial assets while allowing nations to retain control of their own capabilities and priorities.” The Vaduz Space Dialogue is intended to be the start of continued cooperation and we are incredibly proud to be part of it.   We are excited about what comes next for Liechtenstein and for a more sovereign, secure and resilient European space ecosystem. And we look forward to being a part of that journey. open-cosmos.com/news/liechte… Open Cosmos Founder and CEO, Rafel Jorda Siquier and Vice President, Institutional Partnerships, James Cemmell, join fellow participants of the Vaduz Space Dialogue at a reception at Vaduz Castle hosted by Hereditary Prince Alois of Liechtenstein.

A key milestone for Open Cosmos Aegean: a new ground station in Crete is now operational   Open Cosmos have led the consortium responsible for building a new satellite ground station hosted at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) in Crete. Consortium member Libre Space Foundation integrated the station's subsystems into a single working system, delivered the pass scheduling and control software, and installed and brought the station into service, which it continues to support. This is a vital step for Greece’s Small Satellite Program which aims to build a constellation to enable real-time Earth Observation, maritime surveillance, and environmental monitoring capabilities across the region.  “Our work doesn’t stop at launch. We also help build the infrastructure Greece needs to communicate with its satellites and put their data to use. The ground station in Crete shows what we can achieve by bringing together international experience, Greek expertise and strong partnerships.” -  Marita Georganta, Ground Segment Team Lead, Open Cosmos Aegean Congratulations to all the teams who made this possible! This project is part of the Greek National SmallSat Programme led by Greece’s Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence, in cooperation with the Hellenic Space Center and ESA, with funding from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

The aftermath of the wildfire across the New Forest. The major wildfire near Poulner Hill and the A31 has left a devastating mark on the New Forest’s delicate heathland. As crews work tirelessly on the ground and the smoke clears, Earth observation provides the clear, high-resolution data needed to assess the true impact across the landscape. This false colour satellite image tracks the blaze and reveals the full extent of the burn scars left behind following the 10-day fire. Our thoughts remain with the local communities affected, the emergency services, and all those dedicated to the long-term habitat recovery efforts. #ImageOfTheWeek #EarthObservation #Wildfires #NewForest #OpenCosmos
